A symbol of the Chinese Spirit and the royal object of worship, Mount Tai has many spectacular scenic and historic sites.
As I of our tour group said it was like watching an Olympic opening. 300 actors playing out the different dynastys down the century with amazing techno and lighting scenes and dancing, different musical instruments and it's on every night from April 12th to November 12th which was the night we went. A clear night with full moon and our only really cold time in our 10 day tour of China, but we were outside and on a mountain! Absolutely recommend this. Our whole tour was great.

Taishan is hugely important in Chinese culture and history. Many emperors had climbed up Taishan prior to their assuming the throne. The path is meticulously built over the centuries, so it's all paved walkway and steps now. It's 4000+ ft elevation gain from Hongmen to Nantianmen, or 6666 steps. We stayed at the Shen Qi hotel, which is another 200+ steps up. From there, it's yet another 100 steps to the summit, where the Jade Emperor Temple is located. At the half way mark, or Zhongtianmen, you can wimp out and take the aerial tramway up. Alternatively, you can take a bus from the ground level up to the mid point, then walk up the rest of the way.
